[libreplanet-discuss] Freedom respecting SBC?

I am in a position to make a 'Truly Freedom Respecting' Single-Board-Computer.
It would probably cost around 50 to 100$ (I'm want it at least twice as 
powerful as a pi), and GPIO pins making it a good Pi alternative.
I Have no specs (or other details) for it yet, I am just wondering how much 
interest there is (beyond myself of course).
